In order to replace the steering wheel of the Volkswagen Polo, you need to loosen the screws located on the back of the steering wheel so that the airbag can be removed. Once the airbag is freed from its housing, you must disconnect the connector and completely remove the piece.

At this point, the central nut that secures the steering wheel to the steering column will be accessible, and it must be loosened in order to completely remove the steering wheel. The new replacement piece can then be fixed, repositioning the airbag and checking its functionality.
